Full Breakdown
Town Code § 390-8A regulates where a mobile food vendor's truck or cart can physically stand once it is out selling. Subsection A(3) bars the vehicle from standing or remaining within 100 feet of any intersection, in any private or public place or street for longer than 15 minutes, or on any crosswalk. Subsection A(6) goes further and denies any vendor an exclusive right to a public-street location: no stationary spot is permitted, and operating in a congested area that impedes or inconveniences the public is prohibited outright, with a police officer's good-faith judgment on "congested" treated as conclusive under the chapter.
on school days. Read together, these clauses mean Greenburgh does not designate approved vending zones; instead it defines where a truck may never park by exclusion, and requires the vehicle to keep moving through legal areas rather than set up a fixed pitch. The vendor must also hold the underlying peddler license under § 390-3 and is limited to one vehicle per license under § 390-8B.
Violations & Fines
A vendor who parks longer than 15 minutes, sits within 100 feet of an intersection or on a crosswalk, claims a stationary or exclusive location, or vends inside a school buffer zone during school hours commits a violation under § 390-13B, punishable by a fine of up to $250 and/or 30 days in jail; a repeat offense is a misdemeanor punishable by a fine up to $500 and/or three months. Each day of continued noncompliance is a separate offense, and police may order the vehicle to relocate on the spot.
